This international project "BIKING FOR CHERNOBYL” is sponsored by an American organization FOCCUS (Friends of Chernobyl Centers U.S.) which was created in 1990 by UNESCO.

This extraordinary trip has two purposes: (1) to raise public awareness about the Chernobyl catastrophe in this 20th anniversary year and (2) to garner resources to support Community Centers serving thousands of people whose lives have been forever changed as a result of the Chernobyl accident.
The two bikers involved in this trek are Christian Boyko and Emmanuelle Plattet who, although presently reside in Switzerland, have lived in Lethbridge for 18 years and Edmonton and Vancouver for a number of years each. The Father and family of Christian now reside in Canora Saskatchewan.
